It shows the anguish of patriotic soldiers who have no way to serve the country and the desire of the people of the Central Plains to recover lost ground.
First, the original:
In the fifteenth year of Herong's reign, the general did not fight empty borders.
Zhu dances heavily, but the horse is fat and the bow is broken.
Garrison Diao Dou urged the moon to set and joined the army at the age of 30.
Who knows that a strong man's heart is in the flute, and the sand head is empty.
When the Central Plains heard of the war, there were descendants who opposed Hu Chuan!
The adherents endured death and looked forward to recovery, and shed tears tonight.
Second, translation:
It has been 15 years since the imperial edict to negotiate peace with Jin was issued. It's ridiculous that the general only comes to guard the border without fighting. The rich and powerful mansion indulges in feasting and dancing all day, but unfortunately the horse is fat and the bow and arrow in the stable is broken.
The sound of the border guards urged the moon to set, but the thirty-year-old soldier turned white today. Strong enemies have hardships, but who can understand the morale of the soldiers? The moonlight was desolate and empty, illuminating the remains of soldiers on the battlefield.
The Central Plains has been in constant war since ancient times, but now it can only be carried on here by Inverse Hu? Adherents endure death, drag out an ignoble existence and expect to recover lost ground. I don't know how many people are looking at the moon wheel with tears tonight!

The whole poem is divided into four levels, and the third level selects the different situations and attitudes of three characters on the same moonlit night as the structural framework of the whole poem. The language is extremely concise, but the connotation is very rich and profound. On the one hand, wealthy families have civil and military officials, singing and dancing, and do not think about saving the country; On the one hand, there are soldiers guarding the border, bored and unable to serve the country; On the one hand, the adherents of the Central Plains are shy, with blurred eyes and hope for reunification.
These three scenes constitute three contrasting pictures, denouncing the attitude of the court in the Southern Song Dynasty, showing the anguish of patriotic soldiers who have no choice but to serve the country and the desire of the people in the Central Plains to recover their lost land, and reflecting the patriotic feelings of the poet who cares about the country and the people and longs for reunification.
